<p>From the great Hugh MacLeod:</p><p><em>“It's a cultural instinct to wait to get picked. To seek out the permission and authority that comes from a publisher or talk show host or even a blogger saying, ‘I pick you.’ Once you reject that impulse &amp; realize that </em><strong><em>no one is going to select you</em></strong><em> - then you can actually get to work.</em></p><p><em>A long time ago, I realized that my cartoons would never be mainstream, would never be “picked” by Hollywood or New York. Luckily, the Internet came along, and it no longer mattered."</em></p>

Pick yourself

<p><strong>— From <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591846072/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=entregurus-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=1591846072&amp;linkId=0cddbedd26dcdf9baa57a5c46f5dd55b"><em>The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly</em>?</a> by <a href="https://www.sethgodin.com/">Seth Godin</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="https://entregurus.com/the-2-categories-of-fear-that-prevent-you-from-succeeding/">In yesterday’s post</a>, the closing quote by author<a href="https://jamesaltucher.com/"> James Altucher</a> was, <em>“Rejection and the fear of rejection is the biggest impediment we face to choosing ourselves.”</em> It reminded me of the importance of <a href="https://seths.blog/2014/04/how-do-i-get-rid-of-the-fear/">dancing with fear</a> and picking ourselves, because no one else will.</p>
<p><strong>We seem to spend an inordinate amount of time <a href="https://entregurus.com/stop-waiting-and-pick-yourself/">waiting to be picked</a>, but the moment we pick ourselves is when we start creating, achieving, and moving forward.</strong> Because of this, I wanted to share with you a wonderful passage from the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591846072/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=entregurus-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=1591846072&amp;linkId=0cddbedd26dcdf9baa57a5c46f5dd55b"><em>The Icarus Deception</em></a> by <a href="https://www.sethgodin.com/">Seth Godin</a>. Here it is, verbatim:</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<h3><strong>Pick Yourself</strong></h3>
<div><a href="https://entregurus.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Pick-Yourself-Hugh-MacLeod.jpg"><img src="https://entregurus.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Pick-Yourself-Hugh-MacLeod-300x236.jpg"/></a><p>Pick Yourself by <a href="https://www.gapingvoid.com/blog/team-members/hugh-macleod/">Hugh MacLeod</a> @gapingvoid (click to enlarge)</p></div>
<p><em>Authority?</em></p>
<p>You want the authority to create, to be noticed, and to make a difference? You’re waiting for permission to stand up and speak up and ship?</p>
<p>Sorry, there’s no authority left.</p>
<p>Oprah has left the building. She can’t choose you to be on her show because her show is gone.</p>
<p>YouTube wants you to have your own show now, but they’re not going to call you.</p>
<p>Dick Clark has left the building. He’s not going to be able to get you a record deal or a TV gig because he and his show are long gone. iTunes and a hundred other outlets want you to have your own gig, but they’re not going to call you, either.</p>
<p>Neither is Rodney Dangerfield or the head of programming at Comedy Central. Louis C. K. has famously proven that he doesn’t need the tyranny of the booker—he booked himself. Marc Maron didn’t wait to be cast on <em>Saturday Night Live</em>—he started his own podcast and earned a million listeners.</p>
<p>Our cultural instinct is to wait to get picked. To seek out the permission, authority, and safety that come from a publisher or a talk-show host or even a blogger who says “I pick you.”</p>
<p>Once you reject that impulse and realize that no one is going to select you—that Prince Charming has chosen another house in his search for Cinderella—then you can actually get to work.</p>
<p>The myth that the CEO is going to discover you and nurture you and ask you to join her for lunch is just that, a Hollywood myth.</p>
<p>Once you understand that there are problems waiting to be solved, once you realize that you have all the tools and all the permission you need, then opportunities to contribute abound. The opportunity is not to have your résumé picked from the pile but to lead.</p>
<p>When we take responsibility and eagerly give credit, doors open. When we grab a microphone and speak up, we’re a step closer to doing the work we’re able to do.</p>
<p>Most of all, when we buckle down, confront the lizard brain, and ship our best work, we’re becoming the artists we’re capable of becoming.</p>
<p>No one is going to pick you. Pick yourself.</p>
<p>* * *</p>

<p>Beautifully said. And so true. I am lucky to have one of the printouts of this passage that Seth Godin gave me. It’s a treasure that hangs on the wall of my office. It inspires me every day and motivates me to pick myself, and I want to share it with you in hopes that it will do the same for you. Click on the image on the left to enlarge and print.</p>
<p>What about the lizard at the end?? That’s a reminder of <a href="https://seths.blog/2010/01/quieting-the-lizard-brain/">quieting and ignoring your lizard brain</a> as you pick yourself and move in the direction of your dreams. Unless you are in true danger, think of your lizard brain the same way you would of a worrywart aunt: thank her for sharing her (doom and gloom) point of view, and don’t pay attention to it.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“How much responsibility are you willing to take before it’s given to you?</em> – Seth Godin</p></blockquote>
<h2><strong>ACTION</strong></h2>
<p><strong>TODAY:</strong> Pick yourself! The world needs your gifts. And you’ve been wanting to share them for a long time… Start today.</p>
<p><strong>FUTURE:</strong> Create the habit of picking yourself. It’s not a one-and-done thing, it’s a recurrent mindset and attitude to be developed. For those of us who struggle thinking that picking ourselves is arrogant or presumptuous, let me turn it around in the same way it helped me: <strong>it’s not selfishness, it’s</strong> <strong>responsibility,</strong> because it’s what will enable you to help yourself and others achieve goals and dreams.</p>
<p>Love this post as much as I do? Please help me spread the love by sharing it with other people so that they can pick themselves! <a href="mailto:?Subject=Pick%20Yourself%20&amp;body=I%20read%20this%20blog%20post%20and%20thought%20of%20you!%20Check%20it%20out:%20entregurus.com/pick-yourself%20and%20join%20EntreGurus%20(EntreGurus.com/join)%20to%20receive%20an%20idea%20every%20day%20via%20email%20that%20you%20can%20read%20in%20less%20than%205%20minutes.%20Enjoy!">Email</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EntreGurus/">Facebook</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/entregurus">Twitter</a>.</p>

<p>What about the lizard at the end?? That’s a reminder of <a href="https://seths.blog/2010/01/quieting-the-lizard-brain/">quieting and ignoring your lizard brain </a>as you pick yourself and move in the direction of your dreams. Unless you are in true danger, think of your lizard brain the same way you would of a worrywart aunt: thank her for sharing her (doom and gloom) point of view, and don’t pay attention to it. </p>

<p><em>“How much responsibility are you willing to take before it’s given to you? </em>– Seth Godin </p>

<p><strong>TODAY: </strong>Pick yourself! The world needs your gifts. And you’ve been wanting to share them for a long time… Start today. </p>

<p><strong>FUTURE: </strong>Create the habit of picking yourself. It’s not a one-and-done thing, it’s a recurrent mindset and attitude to be developed. For those of us who struggle thinking that picking ourselves is arrogant or presumptuous, let me turn it around in the same way it helped me: <strong>it’s not selfishness, it’s </strong><strong>responsibility, </strong>because it’s what will enable you to help yourself and others achieve goals and dreams. </p>
